Abstract

Climate change has been described as the greatest public health threat of the 21st century. It has significant implications for digestive health. A multinational team with representation from all continents, excluding Antarctica and covering 18 countries, has formulated a commentary which outlines both the implications for digestive health and ways in which this challenge can be faced. © 2021 by Wolters Kluwer, the American Gastroenterological Association, the British Society of Gastroenterology and BMJ Publishing Group, the World Gastroenterology Association.
